General Motors Achieves a Record Distance in a Fuel Cell Vehicle

General Motors Corporation (GM) drove a fuel cell vehicle 300 miles on
public roads on May 15th, claiming a real-world distance record for
traveling on a single tank of hydrogen. The Chevy Sequel drove across
New York State, beginning its drive at GM's Fuel Cell Activity Center
in Honeoye Falls, just south of Rochester, and finishing in Tarrytown,
which is north of New York City. According to GM, the Sequel is the
first vehicle in the world to successfully integrate a hydrogen fuel
cell propulsion system with advanced technologies such as steer- and
brake-by-wire controls, wheel hub motors, lithium-ion batteries, and a
lightweight aluminum structure. See the
GM press release.
